Thursday morning, the Detroit Regional Chamber's political action committee (Chamber PAC) issued its endorsements for candidates running for federal, state, and county offices in the August 5 primary in Michigan.

The organization based its recommendations on responses to a survey, input from committee members and personal interviews with leading candidates interested in the Detroit Chamber’s endorsement to determine the candidates’ stances on business issues and their potential to represent the regional business community.

Chamber PAC endorsed a bipartisan group of candidates, with Democrat Gary Peters earning the organization's nod for Michigan's open U.S. Senate seat, the highest office that earned the Chamber's endorsement this morning.
